- Australian Government $2 PPSR used car check:
When buying a used car privately you should conduct a $2 PPSR used car check to see if the car you are looking to buy is safe from repossession. The PPSR check can tell you if the car is:
-
-
- free from debt if not, the car could be repossessed by a finance company after you’ve purchased it without paying you a cent!);
- reported written-off (it could be damaged and dangerous);
- reported stolen (it could be reclaimed by police); and
- if part of the Takata airbag recall list (it could contain defective airbags)
- It’s also important to know that you should check the PPSR when buying second-hand equipment, such as bobcats, machinery, scaffolding etc. to ensure the goods are debt-free and safe from repossession by a bank or financier.
